How not to get into Pakistan

Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! =)

I just discovered a traveler that made history yesterday by getting into Pakistan without a required visa. If you want to find out more about how NOT to enter Pakistan, check out Chris Guillebeau’s entertaining post – he even shares some insight on what high-end hotels are like over there.  Pakistan may only get an average of about 560,000 tourists per year (a little more than the number that goes to Nepal) but all of those arrivals are supposed to come prepared with a visa, so I’d say Chris was pretty damn lucky to be let in. For those of you interested in getting into Pakistan the “right” way, you’d have to get a single, double or multi-entry visa, and to make things extra fun, the prices differ greatly depending on your nationality.
